TO OUR PEOPLE AND PUBLIC
It has been clarified that the increasing intensive attacks against our Freedom Movement and its Defense Force, the HPG, shows that the concept of the denial and annihilation will be continuing with hypocrisy and new methods . While the Turkish army and its government planning to increase its occupation in Kurdistan, in 2013, are continuing to thing that will get a result by intensifying its air-bombardments, it’s hypocritical talks on peace and trying to get result through false reports and propagandas from special warfare media after its loss against our guerrillas in 2012. These most intensive attacks are occurring as a result of this.
It is clear and understandable that an army, which has been squashed under the operations of our Guerrilla strategy and tactics and cannot digest the march of our people’s resistance to victory, will use the heavy weather conditions to intensify its air attacks by relaying on intensive modern technics. It has to be known that as a HPG, we will not be silent to these attacks. On 14 January, 2013, as a result of intensive air-bombardments on the Medya Defense Areas, 3 of our friends have been heavily wounded and later have been reached to martyr, despite all efforts given for their survival. As a result of these air-attacks, total of 7 Freedom Fighters of our comrades have been martyred. We will be publishing the I.D. details of our martyred comrades to our people and the public tomorrow.
These attacks will obstinate the continuing resistance and march of our Guerrilla Forces for definite victory.
